Our Company

Terms of Engagement

General

The Gymboree Corporation believes that Gymboree has a responsibility to source products in an ethical, legal and responsible manner and
Gymboree partners with vendors who share this belief. Every vendor Gymboree works with receives a copy of, and is required to comply
with, these Terms of Engagement. While Gymboree understands that there are many different legal and cultural differences in which
factories operate throughout the world, these Terms of Engagement set forth, minimum requirements all factories and business partners
must meet in order to do business with Gymboree. These Terms of Engagement, as well as our detailed Monitoring Standards in our Vendor
Manual, will also serve as the basis for Gymboree to perform ongoing assessment, monitoring and evaluation of a factory's or business
partner's employment and legal practices as well as environmental compliance.

Working Age

Vendors used by Gymboree shall not employ any children (i.e. a person less than 15 years old). Where the law in the country of manufacture defines a "child" to include individuals older than 15, such as when the age for completing compulsory education is more than 15, we will apply that higher age definition. Vendors are encouraged to develop lawful workplace apprenticeship programs whenever possible for the educational benefit of their workers, provided that all participants meet both our minimum age standard of 15 and minimum legal age requirements and follow all applicable laws and regulations concerning juvenile / young workers.

Voluntary Labor

All work shall be voluntary and not performed under threat of penalty, coercion or corporal punishment. Vendors shall not use any prison, debt bonded, compulsory, or indentured labor in the manufacture and finishing of our products.

Equal Treatment

Gymboree strives to partner with vendors that share our belief that all people are entitled to equal treatment and opportunity in employment.

Discrimination

Vendors shall employ workers on the basis of their ability to do the job, without regard to their gender, age, religion, marital status, race, sexual orientation, disability, disease, nationality, pregnancy, or trade union or political affiliation.

Women's Rights

All vendors will ensure that workers who are women receive equal treatment in all aspects of employment. Workers will not be exposed to hazards that may endanger their reproductive health and business partners will not force workers to use contraception.

Freedom of Association and Right to Collective Bargaining

Vendors shall recognize and respect the right of workers to freedom of association and collective bargaining, as well as recognizing the union of the workers and allowing union organizers free access to workers.

Working hours should not exceed sixty (60) hours per week. All overtime must be voluntary, mutually agreed, and compensated at a premium rate. Workers shall be given at least one (1) rest day in any seven (7) day period.

Fair Treatment

Gymboree requires vendors to treat all workers fairly and with respect and dignity.

Discipline

Corporal punishment, coercion or public embarrassment may not be used as a disciplinary measure. Vendors' disciplinary procedures must include an escalating series of verbal and written warnings--false reasons may not be used to terminate workers. Vendors must establish an effective grievance mechanism that is easily accessible to all workers.

Harassment or Abuse

Vendors will provide a work environment free of harassment or abuse. Vendors must not engage in or tolerate sexual harassment, indecent or threatening gestures, abusive tone or language or undesired physical contact.

Safe Places to Work

Gymboree maintains a safe, clean, healthy, and productive environment for its workers and expects the same from its vendors. Adequate measures, systems, protections and training must be implemented to prevent harm to workers' health, safety and wellbeing.

Sub-Contracting

Gymboree does not allow sub-contracting. All vendors who outsource subassembly work (e.g.; washing, screen printing, or embroidery) shall supply Gymboree with documentation as required by Gymboree. If subassembly work is done at another location, the Vendor/Factory that was issued the original PO shall be responsible for assuring that the subassembly site is in compliance with Gymboree's Monitoring Standards, including, without limitation, these Terms of Engagement.

Sourcing

Vendors must ensure that the factories they work with only source raw materials which are incorporated into our products from suppliers who comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, Gymboree's Monitoring Standards, these Terms of Engagement and the laws regarding slavery and human trafficking.

Concern for the Environment

Vendors shall have current environmental licenses and certificates in place and must comply with all environmental laws, regulations and standards applicable to their industry. Gymboree encourages vendors to reduce waste, use recycled and non-toxic materials whenever possible and to improve energy and water efficiency.
